Woodlands Residence
Our client had purchased a fibre-glass pool for their backyard they were concerned that it may be too big. Our brief was to make a recommendation for a size, shape and orientation of the pool the design also needed to include a large entertaining area, outdoor lounge and a play space for the children all to fit in the angular backyard.The second story balcony offered great city views but suffered from a lack of cover and privacy making it an unpleasant place to sit and enjoy the scene.
A smaller pool was selected and aligned with the house that created the triangle shape garden bed central to the design, a Dracaena Draco or “Dragon tree” was selected to fill this bed this set the focal point for the space from inside and out.
The skillion roof is set to take full advantage of the northern sun in winter whilst protecting the dining area in summer, polished plaster feature walls hide pool equipment and create a backdrop for the suspended bench seat.
Lime colours in the polished plaster from Bauwerk were chosen for their variation and depth the product is also safe and environmentally friendly created using natural lime base and pigments.
RED specified Jarrah “Lumberjack” decking from Bluechip group for its hidden fixing system and curved top which prevents water sitting on the deck or getting in through screw holes these design features extend the life of the deck considerably.
The balcony was treated to a new roof, ‘Lumberjack’ decking screen and glass balustrade that make it much more inviting.
